Compass Box “The Peat Monster” Whisky Review
“The Peat Monster”
By Compass Box
Whiskey Maker: John Glaser
Proof: 92%
Whiskey Type: Blended Scotch
Color: Pale Hay
Nose: toasted hay, smoked mullet, oak embers
Flavor: smoked oysters, pine straw, fried egg whites, salted malt
Viscosity: medium to thin
Finish: long with a last minute fluctuation of briny warmth
Food Pairing Suggestions: creek oysters and smoked mullet dip
Fabulous blend of smoke and salt. Complex and hyper suggestive. Offers the taster an opportunity to recall former coast delicacies with a smile. I personally couldn’t help but reminisce about my childhood traditions of smoking our net caught beach mullet and eating our foraged grilled creek clams.
